TIBETAN
SINGING BOWLS
Tibetan Singing Bowls have featured in hundreds of workshops,
lectures, and concerts internationally by Frank since 1981. Frank is naturally largely associated with these wonderful instruments
upon which he is considered a leading world authority.
Frank's first recording featuring his
Tibetan instruments was in 1977 (MUSIC FOR MEDITATION) and then a further piece
was recorded in 1983 as side B of NEW ATLANTIS (available as a Double CD - with
DEEP PEACE - on the Celestial Harmonies label) featuring only Tibetan
instruments. He then had to wait patiently (until 1993) to record an entire album of
music upon his Tibetan ritual instruments.
From his large output of CDs (105
releases - LPs, MCs, & CDs), he has
created this series especially devoted to exploring the music from his unique
assortment of around 350 Tibetan Singing Bowls, plus Tibetan Bells (Drilbu) and
Tibetan Cymbals (Ting-shag). He uses around 70 of these Singing Bowls for
his sound healing work and the rest are either for his musical purposes and/or
for his own inner work.

The ancient Himalayan Singing Bowls
were traditionally made of seven metals selected from nine metals, or twelve
metals, and sometimes
also included meteorite. The majority of bowls may be made from five metals,
which would conform more to Tibetan Buddhist symbolism, whilst in the case of the seven
metal bowls in some of these they may only be present as trace elements. The varying balance in the mixture of the metals
comprising any one bowl contributes towards it unique sound. Whilst the shape of
the bowl, the thickness of its walls, and the quality of the hammering are also very important factors in
determining the final sound produced. Above and beyond this there were created
certain sacred bowls which were charged with spiritual power by certain yogic
practitioners or else were imbued with the spiritual energies developed over
years of dedicated deep practice. Amongst these are those intended for use either in specific
meditation / spiritual practises or healing practises. However, it requires considerable
skill to divine such extra-sensory properties in a singing bowl. Whilst these
ancient singing bowls produce a wonderful sound - full of resonant harmonics
sometimes ringing on for 4 minutes or more - seemingly hanging in the air like
coloured clouds of light floating in the space of the One Mind, the truly sacred
bowls carry the additional rarefied energies of exalted states of mystical and
spiritual consciousness and can also form a bridge of sound with the angelic
kingdoms. Singing bowls, in general, have been around for thousands of years and it may
be said that they lean more towards, or are grounded in, shamanic or tantric spiritual streams.

Tibetan
Singing Bowls Volume 1 features three tracks of Tibetan Singing Bowl music -
TREASURE OF THE MOUNTAIN (8 mins) with huge gongs and the wonderfully magical
sounds of the Singing Bowls,
& THE WAY OF THE BOWLS (44 mins) which begins with the beautiful-sounding 12th
century Heart Chakra bowl which leads us out into around 45 minutes of unique
Tibetan Singing Bowl music utilising many playing techniques and sound-textures
found within Frank's rare collection of over 150 of these ancient, sacred
instruments and closing with the beautiful 'overtone' choir. WITHIN THE PETALS
OF THE ROSE (21 mins) this time focusing in particular upon the Healing side of
these uniquely potent sounds. Two very deep, powerful bowls play continuously,
with the first 7 minutes adding Solar Plexus bowls, Heart Chakra bowls for the
following 7 minutes and ending with Throat Chakra bowls. Accompanied by a spacey
and gentle improvisation upon selected bowls over it all.

“An
amazing journey into the world of inner sound.
Frank Perry’s knowledge of this world comes from a deep awareness of musical
structure and an understanding of what he calls ‘the psychic content’ of
music. For those who do not know Frank’s musical world, this tape is an
excellent introduction; for those who already do, it will deepen and enrich
their acquaintance. Frank Perry is not setting out to create something
comfortable and relaxing in his music. It is beautiful certainly but behind that
beauty is a power like that of Rilke's angel 'that disdains to destroy us' and
behind that power is a peace, what Frank calls 'the deep peace of the spirit'.
And that peace is the source of healing.”

Tibetan
Singing Bowls Volume 2 begins with TEN BULLS, which takes its inspiration from this ancient Zen
Buddhist story. Filmmaker Kim Bour commissioned Frank for this. Nevertheless,
the film hasn’t been made yet, as Kim wanted to create it from out of Frank’s
music. This 22 minute piece is in 10 short parts. The second, longer piece – OLMO
LUNG RING ‘Silver Palace of the Garuda Valley’ – is in 7 sections and
is patterned upon this ancient Bonpo (pre-Buddhist) centre and is something of a
‘shamanic journey’ to this ancient abode of adepts. In his own unique way,
Frank explores extremely rich and subtle textures in this piece – many totally
new and never-before-heard textures from Tibetan Singing Bowls. The whole piece
ends using swung Tuned Gongs, Burmese meditation Gongs, Tibetan hand bells, and
numerous types of Tibetan Bowls. This is a deeply powerful track featuring the
unique harmonic resonances of these ancient Singing Bowls with Frank’s deep
understanding of structure and form alongside his uniquely remarkable
sensitivity regarding their spiritual sound-potency for representing deep
meditative and contemplative states of awareness. In some ways this piece
bridges both types of Frank’s music - focusing upon one ‘family’ of
instruments and yet featuring a huge orchestral palette.

Tibetan Singing Bowls Volume 3 is another CD entirely devoted to these magical instruments.
Actually, this CD was created in 1993 and originally intended to be BELOVODYE
Volume 2 - part of Frank's Planets Suite - subtitled 'Ancient Tibetan Initiation
Bowls'. Here we find the tracks for the remaining planets Vulcan, Sun, Uranus,
Neptune and Pluto. The longest track (Sun - the length of an entire album on
vynil!) also features Frank's shamanic overtone singing. Originally conceived
and largely recorded in 1993, it is now released for the very first time ever!
With two Tibetan Bowl CDs already released, Frank was in two minds about
releasing this - actually his first CD to be devoted entirely to Tibetan Bowl
sounds - at all. But listening to it again recently, he felt that these sessions
indeed possessed a very unique quality and did deserve to be released as another
facet of his work with these deeply potent instruments.

Belovodye 2 is an
unparalleled triumph, a true masterpiece from all perspectives;
as experimental music, as performance artistry of the highest calibre,
and as the sustained utterance of a truly exalted spiritual ‘note’. I would
never use the word masterpiece lightly, but this is one indeed. Within the 79
minutes there are five tracks evoking Vulcan, the Sun -a glorious 34-minute
sunbath for the ears - Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, subtitled Singing the Praises
of the Blessed One Within All. As the equivalent of 150th Psalm in pure sound it
had that sense of uplifted wonder and heart-release that characterises true
worship in the spirit. Particular praise must be given to Oliver Nares’s
wonderful and sensitive recording of the instruments.
Maxwell Steer - Music
& the Psyche 2001
The
Initiation Bowls music composed in 1993
consists of 5 tracks (roughly 78’ total), the longest being ‘Awakens
the Five Treasures of Mount Kanchenjunga’ at almost 34 minutes. On this track
and ‘Singing the Praises of the Blessed One Within All’ Perry includes his
remarkable overtoning.
It has a unique quality like no other that I have heard. It is as if he
makes contact with some Tibetan master of the ancient past and channels the
master’s voice in a totally natural way.
As though it is not a learned technique.
In each of the tracks we go through an initiation.
As Perry explains: ‘It is those initiations which the spiritual life of
each and every one is guaranteed to pass through during many lifetimes’
What is striking is that, although he uses essentially the same
instruments for each piece, each track nonetheless has its own particular
structure. While the titles might have no significance to the perceiver, I am
sure they are quite inspirational as a stimulant to unfold these structures.

Tibetan Singing Bowls Volume 4 is
entirely dedicated to working with
the Chakras - or 'Body of Light' - featuring a rare set of ancient Tibetan
Singing Bowls especially made to activate the several chakras and collected by
Frank over several decades. This is a serious workout and is highly potent and
needs to be used with care. Each track is a composed piece of music taken from
the perspective of the total evolutionary journey of our consciousness through
the chakra system. Each track prominently features those bowls especially
attuned to the chakra in question. Frank doesn't use any intellectual system for
determining which bowls work with chakras, but rather his intuition and
spiritual observations (and as observed upon countless hundreds of patients
who've come to him for sound healing) concerning the direct effect of certain
very rare ancient bowls upon specific chakras.
This is a new Landmark in Chakra CDs - one that really delivers!

Frank
Perry has long been recognised as a master of his extraordinary sacred
percussion – the Tibetan singing bowls above all, gongs, Maya balls,
rainsticks, Tibetan bells and other assorted instruments.
Add to this his exquisite overtone singing and you have a magical,
otherworldly soundscape like no other in which you could bathe indefinitely.
It
is both a musically rich tapestry which you can perceive as an archetypal
structure Perry intuits at a psychic level.
At the same time the sounds are a therapeutic vibrational medicine that
clearly cleanses mind, body and soul.
The vibrations can do their work whether or not you decide to actually
listen to them as you would ordinary music. For it has to be accepted that
musical sounds operate on our physical and energy bodies through sympathetic or
forced resonance if even we are deaf.
Since
1968 Perry’s aim has been to dedicate himself to finding and using sounds that
have definite healing properties – primarily the singing bowls.
He has amassed a very large collection of them through listening to more
than 4000 bowls over a 20-year period.
As
Perry states: “In
certain schools of Tibetan Yoga particular religious objects are charged with
psycho-spiritual powers and the most sacred singing bowls are likewise charged.
Some of these are intended to assist us along our spiritual path of
unfoldment such as special chakra bowls.”
The
Chakra Healing music consists of 7 tracks, one for each chakra, ranging in
length from 9 to 16 minutes. Each track has an inspirational sub-title such as
‘Hymn for the Golden Child of a Fiery Heart’ for the heart chakra.
These sounds are related directly to the awakening of the Kundalini
energy to some degree.
Perry describes it as a ‘sacred science’ that should be approached
with due reverence and care.
Therefore he gives instructions about placing oneself in an undisturbed
place and sitting properly.
Moreover, he it feels it important to have some closing ritual after
being resonated by the sounds.
Unlike Volume 3 with its complexity and richness of sounds including the
overtoning, Chakra Healing has a potent simplicity and subtlety using primarily
the singing bowls – carefully selecting them to activate the particular
chakra. The
complete experience is one of purification wherein the sounds seem to swirl into
the energy centres and awaken them to resonate at their true frequencies.
At the same time the primary energy of kundalini is stimulated in a
rising pulsation.
The
essence of this music that Perry draws down to Earth is Akasha itself.
That is, space opens up, time slows down and silences are heard.
These sounds with their enormous range from the deepest rumblings of the
gongs to the high tinnabulations of the Tibetan bells just hang there in space
as a fluid geometry creating slow beat patterns. Therefore brain states are
altered and you enter higher dimensions of existence where you can come into
contact with your still, all-knowing Self and experience deep peace. This is the
inner journey par excellence. With these recordings Perry has reached a pinnacle
of spirit and expression. The expression ‘sacred sound’ is often very
loosely used to describe all sorts of toning, chanting and music.
In the case of these CDs it can be applied without reservation because
you feel in the presence of some benevolent power far greater than the little
self can fathom.
These sounds call you to wake up and be who you truly are.
You are helpless to do otherwise.

Tibetan
Singing Bowls Volume 5 is a
CD exploring the broad range of soundscapes featuring these wonderful instruments - also
including Sacred Conch Shell Trumpets, Gongs and overtone singing too. This
first track features a large range of sound textures moving from one section
into another. It is a studio recording of the music for a metaphysical
audio-visual featuring the paintings of Russian artist Nicholas Roerich (1874 -
1948) linked to the theme of Shambhala. The music minus the paintings must needs
be more dramatic. For this recording the proportions of its sections were based
upon the Fibonacci Series (Geometry of Nature) except here adapted as a
Palendrome, to commemorate 2002.
The
second piece TEMPLE OF LIGHT has echoes of side two of DEEP PEACE (one of
frank's earliest LP's - recorded in 1980) and features a background drone upon 7
Tibetan Hand bells (Drilbu) playing a form of 'Music of the Spheres' above a
beautiful ancient Tibetan Singing Bowl attuned to the Heart Chakra and the Lord
Maitreya which plays throughout and above this drone are played three main
sections upon Singing Bowls. The two outer sections are upon a group of deep
bowls whilst the central section is played upon a collection of 39 high Yin
bowls. At the point of the Golden Section (Geometry of Nature) mystical
music, representing Communion with the Cosmic Heart, enters.

HIMALAYAN

Frank in Warwick 2004
During
2004 many new pieces came through me. I found that many of these pieces
indicated a new direction in my work. Originally, during 2003, I had it in the back of my mind to release
a CD of Singing Bowl music featuring short tracks that were mostly improvised - without
any over-dubs. As I focussed my creativity upon short pieces they simply continued to unfold. I
simply went with the flow working on the pieces as they arose in my creative
consciousness. As the number of the collection of such pieces rose, I also realised that I had been making music for 40 years. I
figured that I would release a double CD to celebrate this event. However, once I added up
all of the pieces I found that there were enough of them to fill over 3 CDs.
I then decided to add another CD that was retrospective in nature and would
include many solo tracks recorded over the past 30 or more years that were
either no longer available or only otherwise available as part of the selection
of tracks on other CDs (including those on MBM - most especially three of the
solo instrumental tracks included on RAINBOW
HEALING PEACE). Some of these were alternative versions of tracks available on
MBM - such as Treasure of the Mountain, and Temple of the Ancient
Magical Presence, and yet others on CDs featuring other artists: Mountain
Angel from Venus, and Amethyst, Gold ,and Royal Blue, My Way of Saying Thank You.
It
then transpired that I almost had enough to make it a 5 CD set with this final
CD being a kind of Quintessence of my recorded output. The tracks on Volume 5
range backwards in time from 2004 to 1972 (for details regarding the tracks on
this CD please click HERE). I had spent most of the
year trying to arrange a recording session at Amphonics and in early January of
2005 this finally took place and supplied the
remaining tracks for CD 4.
By and large the music is
focussed upon Tibetan Singing Bowls and sometimes there are also Tibetan Bells (Drilbu),
Tibetan Cymbals (Ting-Shag), Himalayan Bowls, Gongs, Noah Bells, Chinese Qing
(Resting Bells), and instruments invented by myself -
Petalumines, Pyrahermeezees, Ufoms and Sun Rays and other instruments hand-made by myself:
Conch Shell Trumpets, Bamboo Flutes, strings of bells, various Windchimes and
upon some tracks my Overtone/Undertone Chanting is featured.
I chose to title the
series HIMALAYAN STUDIES. This series also features a departure from my previous
habit of including fairly extensive liner notes with the CD booklet. This series
will feature a minimum of details inside the liner notes with more of my
customary extensive notes provided on this website for those seeking more

During
the sessions for ALL-CONQUERING LIGHT recorded at Ian Dale's Amphonic Studios in
2005 there were several tracks left over. I offered these to the Tashi Lhunpo
monks to use for a future release. They told me that they planned to release it
alongside recordings of their chanting - especially chants for H.H.Panchen Lama
(Head of Tashi Lhunpo). However, I have heard nothing since and so I determined
to release an album - with most of my proceeds going to Tashi Lhunpo - using these
same pieces. That is the inspiration for this CD. Some of the improvisations
from 2005 have one or two bowls or other instruments added to increase the
dramatic effect.

During
the process of creating the pieces for the Himalayan Studies Series, I had some
other pieces left over. These were a few pieces featuring aleatoric passages. To
these were added other pieces that I felt inspired to create in the intervening
period. There was enough material for another CD and so I have now released
another three CDs in the TIBETAN SINGING BOWLS Series.
